In before the DVs & WTFs, no I don't think it will happen.

Tequilla

Who knows whether or not he comes to Washington ... but given the likely coaching change in Texas coming ... wouldn't shock me at all if he left.

Very odd. Texas is a total dumpster fire.

HuskyJW

Who cares. We (Yes we) wouldn't give him the ball anyways.

RaceBannon

I won't believe it until he retweets at halftime

fivehundredmileDAWG

He has played a smidgen this year

Either way, it'll be interesting.

doogsinparadise

Serious question, does real dawg ever get stuff right?

CuntWaffle

Why the fuck do they keep saying it was a "coin flip decision". He made his decision then flipped a coin.

Unless he called one school heads and the other tails that I'm not aware of.

Yeah, can't imagine him being that attractive to UW now...unless there's something going on behind the scenes, he's one of Strong's most recent recruits and his family is already talking about jumping ship 5 games into his college career.

Why wouldn't he be?

Transfers and he sits out next year before playing in 2017. Washington is gone at that point and Gaskin is a true junior and could be gone after that.

McGrew comes in next year but he most likely is going to be more in the Darren Sproles realm where he's getting no more than 10-15 carries and then about 5-10 looks a game in the passing game.

There's not a bigger back on the roster. Coleman isn't really a long term answer and he'd be a senior anyway in 2017 if he is still on the roster.

Not sure what West Coast recruiting looks like for the 2017 class, but there's still a reasonable hole in the 2017-2018 backfield.

HFNY

From a size / talent standpoint yes, I do see how he could be appealing.

But wouldn't you want to see more of how this unfolds, particularly regarding his mother and then CW's character himself? I obviously don't know him but hate to hear about families mentioning transfer after just a few games....remind me of Heaps.

Texas is a complete dumpster fire.

Signing with Texas was an endorsement of Charlie Strong. I don't see anyway that he's coaching there in 2016. I wouldn't be shocked if he's shit canned after a blowout loss to Oklahoma on national tv (again) with a bye week after this game.

HFNY

Yeah if Strong got fired after this weekend, sure. Not Warren's fault if Strong gets fired.

I just looked and wow, the spread is ugly. Texas is getting 17.5 points, even higher than UW.

I remember Ty got a Texas RB to transfer to UW and all the posidawgs thought that was a sign that HE GETS IT. I think it his name was Houston.

fast forward a year, he never plays, and gets arrested on aurora for stealing a taxi cab #allegedly

my memory is fuzzy

Watching Texas in person last week, it looked like a late era Willingham team to me - very similar to what was against Oklahoma and USC in 2008: http://espn.go.com/college-football/team/schedule/_/id/264/year/2008/washington-huskies

Unless somehow Texas completely recovers in a week for the Red River Game, there's no way that I'd not lay the points and expect Texas to get blown out. Between the special team breakdowns costing games as well as Texas looking woefully overmatched in any game they've played so far against higher end teams (Notre Dame and TCU), Oklahoma should be able to cover rather easily. For those on the roster that aren't buying what Strong is selling, they have plenty of opportunity to lay an egg this week and get him fired.

I think Warren sucks. Big and slow.

UT and Charlie look exactly like UW and Ty, all the way down to the "anybody who doesn't give him time is a racist" murmur cloud around him. He's making the same mistakes Ty did in making "character" some arbitrary philosophical thing that has no application to real life or the football field. He looks utterly overwhelmed and his team quit on him 5 minutes into that TCU game. That said, Texas is a chip kelly away from popping off again.

I'm officially on the "he's done" bandwagon after watching the first half against TCU, defensive intensity and special teams execution are a direct reflection of the coaching staff, and if you watched that game, they were about as bad as they get.

RoadDawg55

Strong did a good job at Louisville. It's all over at Texas though. It's been a disaster from the start. When players parents are openly talking about transferring, players tweeting at halftime.. He's a dead man walking.

He could bounce back somewhere else. The best coach comparison imo is Rich Rod. Rich Rod was a disaster at Michigan but has bounced back and done well at Arizona.
